Local climate zones (LCZ), which are widely used in urban heat island studies, include climate-based classification of the city to determine climatic differences metropolitan area. Therefore, mapping methods have been developed visualise LCZ classes. Compared raster-based method, vector-based makes a more precise and accurate evaluation, is not due difficulty creating obtaining dataset. This st...

Increasing population growth worldwide is putting increasing pressure on water resources. In arid and semi area pressure goes to groundwater. Keeping in view havoc capability of remote sensing and GIS, a study for the integrated groundwater development has been under taken in part of Lalitpur district, Uttar Pradesh. The Satellite data of IRS -IC and ID have been used to prepare the hydrogeomor...

in semi arid area geomorphological impacts of dams are very major. dams, as man- made structures, have major impacts on river hydrology, primarly through in the timing, magnitude, and frequency of low and high flows, ultimately producing a hydrologic regime differing significantly from the pre-impoundment natural flow regime. despite the profiles of dams on river regulation for water resources ...

We describe data reduction and analysis of fluctuations in the Cosmic Far-IR Background (CFIB) in large maps observed with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) instrument 160 μm detectors. We analyzed the extragalactic First Look Survey (FLS) and the Spitzer Wide-area Infrared Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE) Lockman Hole observations, the latter being the largest low-cirrus mapping ...

We used a visual-search method to investigate the role of shadows in the rapid discrimination of scene properties. Targets and distractors were light or dark 2-D crescents of identical shape and size, on a mid-grey background. From the dark stimuli, illusory 3-D shapes can be created by blurring one arc of the crescent. If the inner arc is blurred, the stimulus is perceived as a curved surface ...
